From Milliken catalog, 1932: NEW ALBION (Essig, 1932). A sister seedling of Easter Morn, but quite distinct in form, color and substance, and also producing quite a different garden effect. The flowers are pure waxy-white with fine clean cut standards and nicely-formed, flaring falls without the yellow markings in the center, which is one of the outstanding features of Easter Morn. The variety is also somewhat smaller than its illustrious sister, but is none the less hardy, having also been proved in the East. Its worth may be gained from the fact that the originator, until last year, considered it his best white. $5.00
